dogs need your help
Big campaign of spaying/neutering dogs in the Roma settlements of Medimurje County has begun. Now the real overview of the situation is clear and there is still a lot of work ahead to help dogs. Volunteer actions are still ongoing in the animal sanctuary Friends (“Prijatelji”) where everyone’s helping with labor work. Actions will continue until all work is done. Next ones will take place on Saturday, July 21st and Sunday 22nd. Please, let us know if you can join in, first, second or some other day. Be a part of this praiseworthy project and help the dogs.

Why have 10 000 pigs burned?

In June a big blaze took place on the pig farm PIK Vinkovci, considered to be among the most „advanced pig farms in Croatia“. It took hours to extinguish it while 10 000 pigs were dying in agony. Animal Friends Croatia association and 20 other associations from the Animal Protection Network, filed a criminal and misdemeanour charges against PIK Vinkovci, due to a justified suspicion that the farm did not take necessary precautions to protect the lives of pigs and to save as many unfortunate animals from the fire as possible.

The future is without fur farms!

activists in Belgrade
We demonstrated our support for the Serbian Animal Welfare Law by setting up a performance on the main square in Belgrade in June. By carrying empty cages with appropriate slogans on posters, we’ve sent a message of compassion towards animals bred for fur. Animal Friends Croatia supported the implementation of fur farming ban in Serbia beginning January 1, 2019, after the expiration of long transition period.
